What Gab needs to do is run its own DNS server and use one of the ICANN alternatives that allow free unpoliced domain names like https://www.opennic.org. Then we need to encourage people to update their DNS server in their Internet configuration.
Keep in mind that OpenDNS was previously blocking the Daily Stormer's Albanian domain name before it was taken down officially, and 2% of the Internet uses OpenDNS as its DNS server, meaning that even if the Daily Stormer gets a DNS from Gab, several DNS servers will block it.
This is gonna be a multi-front war. |
I am clueless w/ this stuff , apparently there are multiple ways (((they))) can police web content...

Domain name registrars aren't the only level an Internet service can be censored.
Unless you own an anycast network with dozens of PoPs worldwide, when DDoS proof DNS providers (only 5 of these) drop you, you're dead. And ARIN/RIPE will jack your IPs.

we have Tor, and it mitigates ICANN and also ARIN/RIPE-NCC/APNIC/AFRINIC/LACNIC (we'll all have to worry about those jacking IPs when we have ICANN beat, mark my words)
